A brief description of the sustainable food and beverage purchasing program:

Unity College operates it's own Dining Services and has increasingly purchased from vendors that distribute products grown and processed in northern New England. Additional purchases are made from local growers and Dining Services incorporates food grown on campus when possible. During the 2009-2010 fiscal year, Unity College spent 27% of its food dollars on food from these sources. In addition to sustainable food purchases, Dining Services engages students with outreach and education regarding sustainable food in its two campus facilities.
